I don’t know if you’ve heard of iHerb before, but it was one of my favorite websites to use when we lived in NYC to order healthy, often organic, inexpensive food on-line. They sell my favorite peanut flour (which I use in this sauce, these muffins, and these overnight oats), all kinds of healthy, organic condiments, dairy-free chocolate, soaps, lotions, bread, snacks, gluten-free and vegan cookies, and so much more. They’re amazing and their prices, depending on what you’re buying, are really good in my opinion.

But back to the best part. One of my foreign friends here in the city randomly mentioned that she’s been ordering almond milk on-line. When I asked where from, she told me iHerb. I couldn’t believe she was ordering from the same company I used in America. We’ve only been ordering on-line from Taobao (Chinese Amazon) and I never considered using another site because I figured the prices for shipping would cost me my arm. BUT, I found out that if my order is under 10 pounds, shipping is normal…we’re talking $4 or even up to free! Y’all, that’s cheaper than what I’d pay for shipping most times in America. Yes, it might take a while to get to me, but that’s a steal!

This news might not excite you very much, but for this health nut, having access to food that is from America, healthy, has english nutrition labels, and ships to my door for cheap dollars is AMAZING.

And there’s good news for you all too! If you use THIS CODE, you can save $5 off your first order! iHerb ships over 35,000 products to over 150 countries, so I bet no matter where you live you can benefit from this site, just as I have living here in China.

For instance, if it wasn’t for on-line shopping, I wouldn’t have been able to make these Toasted Coconut Chocolate Chunk Vegan Muffins. I can’t find whole grain flour, shredded coconut, or dairy-free chocolate anywhere in my city. I also love to use coconut sugar in most of my baking and that’s not available either. In my opinion, all of those ingredients are what makes these Toasted Coconut Chocolate Chunk Vegan Muffins so amazing. There’s nothing quite like biting into a soft muffin, oozing with chucks of gooey, dark chocolate and crispy coconut flakes. Brett’s eyes lit up at first bite and I’m sure yours will too!

The mention of muffins and I’m already interested, but then you throw those hunky chocolate chunks and I can barely contain my muffin cravings! And the toasty coconut to top it off, mmmm I want the whole batch please <3Natalie | Feasting on Fruit recently posted…Oil-Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (Vegan + GF)

Yeah definitely check it out! I hope the prices are good for you there too. Yeah, we sadly ended up only having a couple rainy days in Vietnam so heading over to Cambodia earlier. We can’t wait to go back though. Hope your travels are going well!

Wow, that is amazing! I can’t believe that’s the shipping cost. I had trouble when I was living in the UK to ship anything (although I wanted stuff like real Vermont/Maine/Canadian maple syrup, and peanut and sunflower butter…)

I’ve been so excited about these since you teased us on instagram!! YAY iHerb!! Pretty sure the shipping to China is cheaper than to Canada haha! Since being in NYC I’ve been ordering everything off Amazon because free shipping haha. And because mail is always exciting!Leah M @ love me, feed me recently posted…wiaw #44 | sick day

I am so excited! iHerb here I come. You had me at shredded coconut. I’ve been wanting to try some of your recipes, but haven’t come across peanut flour or coconut sugar here in Ireland. Thanks for the tip and for the code to save $5.

Yay!! I’m so glad I mentioned it so you can get more things shipped to you. I’m guessing they ship to Ireland if they ship to China:) you’ll love peanut flour! I just got half my order in yesterday and already used my coconut sugar and have been putting Sriracha on everything:)

Thank goodness for online food shopping! Haha! Even here in the states, it feels like Christmas opening a box of the goodies I don’t has access to at my own local store!Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine recently posted…Friday Finisher 2/19/16
